The team at ulive had the idea to make an intro video for their viewers who might be new to Olive Us. And we thought that was brilliant! Tiger in a Jar ran with the concept and we’re nuts for what they came up with. The super cool title illustration is by Clayton Thompson.

P.S. — The videos are not currently accessible outside the U.S. Ugh. We are working on it. So sorry! And thanks for your patience as we get it sorted out. As a temporary workaround, using a VPN (which I write about here) should let you access them.

I watched Meet Olive Us last night – it was fantastic! The kids were adorable and so charming. I loved that you could see their individual personalities really shining through. I can’t wait to see some of the upcoming Olive Us videos, they are such fun!

I’m a fairly new reader of your blog, and I have to admit that Meet Olive Us made me tear up a bit! I’m so impressed with you and your beautiful, charming family, and I loved getting to know each of the children a bit better. Thank you!

I don’t know if its the pregnancy hormones or what (28 weeks), but I got all misty at the end of this video. What a delightful series. :) I have read pretty much your entire blog, but I can’t remember if there have been any posts on sibling relationships. I’ll have to look. If not I would like a post talking about strategies to help one’s kids have great relationships with their siblings; your kids seem to really enjoy each other, and I want that for my kids!

You wont believe me but i just watched all of them! I loved them, ALL… so especial, so inspiring, so beautiful!
One thing, I noticed that some of them don’t have the credits at the end… Just in case you would like to know…

oh, oh, oh, ohhhh!! so incredibly, wonderfully sweet! my 2.5 year old and i have watched many of the episodes (by his reaction he definitely thinks June is up for Best Actress award!). I thought I was done with two kids, but
seeing all of your children together gives me this urge to have four more immediately! (If I could skip the pregnancies and the newborn sleeplessness. :>)

Can’t wait to watch more! Thanks for sharing your family with us. What a treat and how inspiring for so many,

Oh, gosh, I just LOVE that Meet Olive Us video! So well done, so charming. Love that your children have such distinct personalities and talents, but are so bonded. Reminds me of my own family of origin. (There were nine of us!)

I’ve watched all of the Olive Us videos (many of them multiple times) and I think this might be my new favorite! I love watching all of their personalities come through! I can’t wait for the new episodes to come out.

So sorry they are not available to us in Canada. My kids love OliveUs and I’m glad I tested ulive before showing them this latest one. They would have been very disappointed Looking forward to the episodes being available outside the US! In the meantime, we’ll keep watching those on Vimeo. Their favourite episode is Kish, watched many, many times.

Awww. I can’t wait until you sort out the international viewing. I have been following your blog since you moved to France. It’s been a source of inspiration for me as my family just moved from California to Malaysia. I kept telling myself, if you can do it with your big family, we can do it with two little ones. Cheers!

Oh Gabrielle — I looooved your video and immediately showed it to my daughters who are now insisting that I make one with them. Watching yours made me feel as if I were transported straight into a Wes Anderson movie, my favorite storyteller of allll time. xo S

Oh! I wanna hack this ulive so badly! Please let us know when we’ll be able to watch them from around the world. I made the mistake to sit the kids at the table for a session and they were sooo disappointed :^(
